HBO asks that Trump not make Game of Thrones political. Conjures up memory of Bush’s head on a stake

President Donald Trump celebrated what he called a “good day” Thursday by tweeting an image of himself amid a cloud of smoke, with the caption, “No collusion. No obstruction. For the haters and the radical left Democrats— Game Over.”

The meme used a font style similar to that commonly used by HBO’s mega-hit series, “Game of Thrones.”

Well, it didn’t take long for HBO to respond, issuing a statement that did not specifically mention the president, but was clear that it did not want its intellectual property used for political purposes.

“Though we can understand the enthusiasm for Game of Thrones now that the final season has arrived, we still prefer our intellectual property not be used for political purposes,” the premium network said in the statement, according to The Hill.

This from the network that featured the likeness of former President George W. Bush’s head on a spike in Season 1 of “Game of Thrones,” back in 2012.

Granted, HBO did apologize after the fact and promised to remove the image from any future production. But plenty of political junkies had their suspicions about the Bush-like head at the time since Bush derangement syndrome was rampant, although it seems tame in comparison to TDS.

“We were deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste,” HBO said at the time, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “We made this clear to the executive producers of the series, who apologized immediately for this inadvertent, careless mistake.”

Trump posted the meme after the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, which showed no evidence of collusion with Russian and did not enough evidence to conclude that he obstructed justice.

However, the president was not the only elected official employing a Game of Thrones theme this week, leaving the possibility that HBO may not have been targeting him — or, at least, not him alone.

Running against Louisiana Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards, the ad is a spoof of Abraham taking on fake news and liberal politicians, to include Edwards.

In the scene — which was part of the ninth episode of the sixth season of the HBO fantasy series — main character Jon Snow (played by Kit Harington) finds himself alone against an army. Rather than turn and run, he chooses to stand his ground and draw his sword against the onslaught of men riding against him on horseback. At the last-minute, he is saved by an ally force.

They don’t own the term “game over” if anyone owns that term it’s nintindo lol. I think them trying to say trump didn’t ask permission is moronic. We live in a free country last I checked we were allowed to make memes even the president!
